Dum Gai shouted at the top of his lungs and pointed in their direction.
The battle cry of the thieves wasn't even done when they heard a shriek coming from one person to another.
Even before they could figure out what happened, the dangerous light that reflected the soldiers' blade made them shut up. Those who made noise or rebelled were killed on the spot. The clever earlier was also spared.While Dum Gai was killed.
That thief is really interesting. Sadly, his life is at the hands of their master. Her curiosity towards the thief died down.
While watching, Xi Sheng made sure that the ladies behind her are safe. Some of the thieves that escaped the soldiers' grasps ran in their direction, but Xi Sheng swiftly took care of the escapees.
As the stench of blood is getting heavier, Xi Sheng covered her nose and retreated back but was stopped when a gleaming deadly weapon was placed onto her neck.
"Don't move."
Xi Sheng pressed her lips together.
I really shouldn't have helped them.
Xi Sheng stands straight and slowly raises her hands. She gapes at the glimmering dagger that would slash her neck at any minute.
Sister, did no one taught you that sharp things could claim life? If you're aware of that, quickly take it off!
"Ci, take that sharp thing away. He might be suspicious but he is our benefactor."
Xi Sheng heard that the maid clicked her tongue and withdraws the dagger. When the blade is gone, Xi Sheng ma.s.sages her neck and tastes the sweetness of life.
A soldier walked to them and respectfully bowed to the little lady.
"Your highness, this might take a little while so please rest for a bit."
The little lady nodded at him. The soldier raised his hand and signalled the other soldiers. The soldier strode beside the little lady and held his sword tightly, his eyes seizing Xi Sheng.
"We don't like owing anyone, this young gentleman, how many golds do you need?"
Ah, how straightforward.
Xi Sheng shook her head and kneels down.
Click!
"Stop."
The little lady lifts her hand and motioned the soldier. The soldier narrowed his eyes and obediently sheathed his b.l.o.o.d.y sword.
Xi Sheng didn't flinch and wiped her cold sweat naturally.
She looks at the little lady in front of her:"May I ask if the little lady is a n.o.ble?"
The maid yelled:"Impudence!"
Xi Sheng directly stares at the little lady and conveys through her eyes. Little lady, your servants are killing my ears.
The little lady with her plump cheeks and wet big brown eyes smiled:"This lady is a n.o.ble, however, the background of this lady is a secret."
Xi Sheng nodded. Children of the ancient era are so much more mature than their actual age!
" Rather than gold, may I ask for information about the naming system?"
The little lady hummed:"Very well. The history of the naming system is very huge, but I will sum it up."
As the world was built thousands of years ago, the naming system was also established. However, its origin is not known. The naming system is when someone names another using their life force. The life force signifies the vitality and lifespan of a person. A mark will appear when a naming ritual is successful.
When a person is named, the one who named will decide whether they keep them or not. Just like the case of Dum Gai.
"Can anyone name someone?"
The little lady shook her head.
Anyone cannot name anyone. The royal family or n.o.bles only have the qualifications to name someone.
The importance of the name signifies ident.i.ty and being above the common populace. Having a name gives an individual a certain power like increase in strength or intelligence, though it's only small.
In terms of family, the parents shall give their offspring a name. If they don't, their life force will be sucked out by the child until they die. If the parents of the unnamed child die, the child's life expectancy will not reach adulthood.
On the other hand, n.o.bles only named someone when they are pleased or indebted to commoners. Even if the commoners are named, they cannot name anyone.
Xi Sheng asks:"What will happen if someone that is not a n.o.ble named someone?"
The little lady paused for a minute:"They will explode."

E...Explode?
"There are still many factors that affect the naming system, nonetheless, I still haven't studied those."
With the newly equipped knowledge she learned, Xi Sheng stood up and thanked the little lady.
The sky is already dark, so she should return. Xi Sheng was about to run away when she heard the little lady.
"Is your story earlier true?"
Xi Sheng rapidly said:"Nope, that was made up."
"If that's so, ahem, then this gentleman... do you desire to be named?"
Xi Sheng didn't look back and left with:"This one is named." And ran away.
The little lady stares at the back of the youth as it vanishes.
Maid Ci:"Cough! Princess Xu, should we go after him?"
The little lady shook her head:"Since the gentleman is already named, we shall not pursue more. However, I believe we will meet soon."
The captain and the maid peered at the state of their princess. They could only sigh at the soft and love-struck eyes of their princess.
Xi Sheng's being was thoroughly burned in their memories.
They continue their journey to the direction of the capital.
...
The Naming System is both a blessing and a curse. Some unnamed folks hated the n.o.bles because of corruption or evil deeds but because of the naming system, when a n.o.ble named a commoner, the commoner will either serve them, praise the n.o.ble, or hide their animosity towards the n.o.ble.
Its existence is quite funny.
The naming system is important not only because it gives ident.i.ty and increase in stats, but does it stop there?
Xi Sheng thinks that people aren't that shallow to be enslaved by the mere benefits of the naming system.
Xi Sheng quickens her steps. When she arrived at the lake, the dark already swallowed half of the sky.
She rests beside the pond and drinks the water in it.
Huff! Huff!
She wipes her mouth and calls:"Open window."
『Auto Prompt: Missions triggered!
Main mission: Fulfill the host's wish(2%).
Side mission 1: Origin of Naming Caste(50%).
???』
"So I wasn't dreaming..."
When she inquired about the naming system, she heard a 'ding!' sound.
She taps the window several times, but nothing happened. For a while, she felt at loss.
She sighs and stares at the dawning sky.
Her eyes dimmed and utter:"System, where the h.e.l.l are you? I'm worried that you will be beaten without me at your side..."
Xi Sheng will never admit that she felt lonely without her system.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
"Junior Sister Sheng! Where are you?!"
She stood up and collected the torn cloth containing the bleu-mist lady slipper plant.
She exited the lake circle and meets with them.
They didn't express it but the Sol Keepers felt pity for Xi Sheng's current appearance.
Xi Sheng held the cloth firmly and was escorted back to the temple.
